Please help him on his quest by moving him, logging your find asap and then relocate him within two days if possible. Thanks for helping him with his travels.

The Kids and I were very excited to hunt our 1st cache together, however could not find it in the designated location.
I'm hoping this is just us being beginners, but we scoured the location top to bottom, with no luck.
Hoping that it has been found by a fellow cacher and will be re logged, as Rubber froggy has gone on quite the journey it seems!
Other than that, MattyRx any other tips on location? Just in case it's a case of amateur hour, not outsider thievery!

I saw this little frog appear not far from home, so I thought I'd go an introduce myself. Little did I realise that we has already met! So rather than make a find I thought I'd take you for a little drive and just log a move.
Froggie took a ride up over the border and now waits in the Gold Coast for his next finder.

We are visiting family for Easter and had this little feela with us from home .He is placed with another cache hoping the find fo two for one will have him soon moved on.
We encountered this little fella while on a FTF hunt ,actually we found him first ,as he has been here awhile we will relocte him elsewhere
Here you go froggie, nice and close to water. You’ll need water as Queensland is letting us know today that winter is coming to an end!
I’ve dropped froggie in a quiet park not far from where I work. Weekdays can be busy on the roads around here but weekends are very quiet with plenty of parking.
Go to the green bench seat in the grassed area at S 027° 44.220' E 153° 13.183' then walk in a straight line to GZ which is about 7m in from the edge of the grass. You will see a small side stump attached to a tree. A suspicious rock sits inside the stump (shin height). He’s under the rock. Froggie and plastic bag are now in a cammo bag for extra protection and I’ve added a small pencil. Safe travels little fella, I’ll drop in to say hi if you’re not picked up soon

I showed up at Community Park to see if I could find ol’ froggie and saw a new irrigation installation and freshly mulched areas. I thought that’s not a good sign for geocaches at the base of trees which was where my GPS was pointing. But, there he was in his bag dry and in good condition. The log has previously been wet but is okay at the moment. Time to move on mate, let’s do it, I’ll help you

Out and about on New Years Day. Stumbled across the monument celebrating the opening of the M1 from Logan to Nerang. Its location seemed to be a great spot to hide Rubber Ducky..Errr.Froggie and two friends.
Good luck Rubber Ducky..Errr.Froggie and safe travels.

Hello Rubber Ducky...Errr..Froggie welcome to the Gold Coast.
I know what it is like to be misunderstood, you see I am also a travel bug as well as being a bear. Clearly I am not an insect!
You've been nibbled on and the lid of your container is missing. I shall see if I can do some repair before you go out again. Or perhaps I will give you to Suzy to repair, she is good at that, just look at my feet.
Then I think I know of an excellent place for you to hide, with both ducks and frogs.
Thank you for the moveable.

Moved this cache up into QLD – it’s with a stash of other caches that appeared in the Northern Rivers NSW a month ago. Full inventory at this location is:
GA13227, GA5399, GA12660, GA3165, GA9630, GA11662, GA12401, GA3828, GA10652, GA14174, GA1886 & GA12844

Found this moveable, as well as a swag of other ones between Casino and Lismore NSW - Never before have so many moveable caches appeared in my local area, so I took a drive and picked them all up. There's a few other cachers that I'm sure will love to see them too, so I'll share the love around and then they'll soon be on their way to their next location. Thanks for hiding this one!
NO LONGER AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES AS I HAVE COLLECTED IT TO MOVE ON.
I was out caching and saw that some moveables that I hadn't seen and some that I had seen, had been left here so I have grabbed them to move interstate in the next week.

Saw these pop up in Belconnen, ACT and since I needed to get out of the house I did an evening run to find these caches (but not move them). I agree that particular spot - usually quite a good one given the access - is getting a bit yuk - maybe more of a meeting point these days.
Thanks for putting out the movable for me to enjoy this find evening.

Went out today to set these fellows free. Lovely spot. Watch where you put your feet, though, as I discovered when I returned to the car. Something yucky. Shoes are in washing machine as I write this.
Lovely afternoon for a short walk. Also a quick find! Thanks for the cache!

'Rubber ducky..errr..froggie' cache was actually located inside Jerra Quarry View at S 35° 23.714 E 149° 13.179
Spent the day with FurfacesLL and Boot65 wandering the Jerra and Googong hills. Was a brilliant day with great company.
We left this little guy here as he seemed very content with his views and is relaxing nicely.
Thanks for the GCA

'Rubber ducky..errr..froggie' cache was left in 'James' Cache' (GC4GN3D) in Jerrabomberra, NSW. Co-ordinates: S 35° 23.107 E 149° 13.542
This frog cache is not waterproof, so it was left in 'James' Cache' to keep it dry.

I found this in "Amazing Crace" cache GC26Y40 (S 35° 12.239 E 149° 07.312). 
I had no idea what a cache was doing inside another and I had not heard of movable caches. I will update after I have found another place to leave this frog.

I found this one a while ago within a GC.com cache which was surprising. I had forgotten about it until now when I received an email about this one. A nice little moveable, hopefully it goes somewhere soon.
Moved to a cache with a better view of the bush capital 
Found this with MajuraHathi - first find of thses type for me. Thank you for explaining the process of these to me. Soo much fun. Now started on getting more of these.

This little ducky looks alot like a frog. Somethings been nibbling on his ear and his butt.
After forgetting to take him to yesterday's event I decided to drop him off at Rookwood where he should get found soon.
This little frogger was conveniently located on the way to the local Aldi, and I knew the location wouldn't be annoying in the rain. So a quick stop and grab without the GPSr and he is back home in the dry. Not sure who has been chewing on his ear though. Thanks for a new frog. Will have to work out where the next move should be.
This little ducky/froggie has been having a bit of a live-in party with some mates at my place for a while but he's out in the rain now enjoying himself against the trunk of a shrub in the grass verge
Met this guy this morning as he was right on our way. Off on more travels for him
Moved to a point close to the Hume - has 2 others for company. Signed the log after minor surgery to remove its container - my puma comes in handy at times.
This frog is now close to the water in a reserve for birdies.
Met Black Bunny & JAC at Berry & took possession of 5 moveables, this being one. Also discovered 22 in transit so a successful meeting.
Hopped off down the coast and straight into the hands of another cacher.
Found with Just a cacher and Black bunny. And thanks for the frog.

Checked out this poor neglected little bloke this morning, coords are spot on, he is nowhere near any rubbish other than a solo can-should have picked it up!!-and the hint is still very appropriate.
Not the greatest area to be looking around, lots of rubbish around.
had what i thought was a good look, but i guess i could return.

OK I'm sick of hiding in a fork so I've moved to the above coords, which are most likely more accurate than where I was. Please come and get me!!
Well after a week in the pines I am now waiting to be recycled. My mover informs me that I have a pleasant fragrance, something to do with bath salts.
Well he's been sitting there for almost a week so I went and got him for a move shortly.

Picked up on an evening walk in the hills. A bit blowy, but I had a much better time of it than I did last night!
Another non-hint and another DNF. Time to head home, there aren't any frogs here. Except I saw one on the way home (photographed)
Finally, some frogs down South. A brisk walk up and down a mountain to collect a swag of frogs. Backpack felt like a Namadgi adventure backpack after a while.
Another froggy back into circulation. Thanks for the fun Littlejacks.
Woke up this morning and went into the study and there was a big bag of frogs. Someone went froggy hunting last night.

Found in a big bag, with a heap of other disgruntled frogs this morning. One of us had to stay home and mind the sleeping teen.
